really hate that the most pervasive fan-interpretation of isaac is (or at least used to be) "soft, sad, innocent puppy in love with scott". like in love with scott maybe sure. sad sure. but he's not SOFT or INNOCENT, he's a BITCH and he's MEAN and his automatic reaction to anyone he doesn't like is to try to fistfight and/or murder them. he has his soft moments but they are far overwhelmed by what a petty bitch he is. and to me thats like the peak of his character and why i love him as much as i do but so much of the fandom apparently saw him and threw all that out the window.

#like yall really just took all the flavor away from my boy #(this post isnt adressing anyone that follows me or even really anyone i've seen in the current teen wolf tumblr community)#(this is more about the subset of fans that i think are probably the same subset of fans that ship sterek and made all those edited #-screencaps whenever i look for teen wolf stuff on pinterest)#magpie thoughts #magpie's teen wolf experience #i now have a visceral reaction anytime i see isaac described as a puppy.#on top of everything else it also just feels kinda like infantilizing an abuse victim #like ''oh poor little pathetic baby never did a thing wrong in his life must protect from all harm''#like. NO #he did LOTS OF THINGS wrong. he was hungry for power and control after having basically none his whole life and it made him reckless and #-cruel (at least at first). he tried to kill people and relished in it. and even after he pledged eternal devotion to scott or whatever and #-switched sides he was still bitchy as all hell. and i LOVE HIM FOR IT #taking away all of that and reducing him to just some poor baby whose done no wrong and must be coddled feels like just. erasing his agency #idk man #magpie rants #i feel like i had a tag specifically for me being salty at some point but i dont rmr it
